Oh yeah, the power that he thought would help him beat Obi-wan. That power. Maybe she gets past him. Also, maybe Shaak Ti and that other Togruta youngling/Padawan gang up on him during Operation Knightfall and Anakin is busy and Rex offs a clone loyal to Sidious and Ahsoka dresses as him and leaves her Jedi outfit and lightsaber and her little hat thingy behind and Anakin thinks she was killed and became one with the Force, and noone is the wiser that Ahsoka escaped, and Rex becomes a stormtrooper. Also, you're forgetting one of the most popular lines said about Anakin, "There is good in him!". Also, Sidious said to kill all the "Jedi" in the Temple. What if Ahsoka wasn't promoted to a Knight and was still a Padawan, so Anakin, with his usual twisting of wording and reality and that time, justified that since she wasn't technically a "Jedi", he could let her go. Also, though it does seem that Ventress gets her, I doubt Ventress would live, not to mention she'd die like an animal. Also, for the record, I think Sidious knew that Padme was pregnant, though he didn't, Anakin didn't either, know about the twins, and wanted her to die because he knew the baby would likely be a threat to his new Empire. Also, maybe Mace assigns Ahsoka to make sure Anakin doesn't try to interfere with the arrest, but she fails to stop him, maybe he uses the Force to push her out of the way, and he leaves, but she follows him and sees what he does to Mace and how he becomes Vader. Then she tells Shaak Ti and that's why Shaak Ti manages to escape. Shaak Ti didn't make it in time to warn many of the Younglings, and Ahsoka just escapes. Also, Maybe Ventress comes out of hiding, and, furious at the Sith for betraying her, helps Ahsoka escape just to spite them. Also, recall, Sidious said Anakin was the only Jedi that didn't know of the "conspiracy". Maybe Anakin assumed that since Ahsoka was his Padawan, she also didn't know about it, but knows the Empire won't care about that, and helps her escape. Also, couldn't she be able to sense he had fallen to the Dark Side and make a run for it? Yeah Jedi don't run, but she knows she can't beat a Sith Lord. Have you seen how she dodges bullets? She has quite an interesting defensive style. She might be able to get away.

What about this, somehow the baddies, maybe Sidious himself, though I doubt, wait, he was pretty open with Anakin so anything's possible, and she somehow attacks Anakin, and almost kills Padme, and he kills her. And then he slowly thinks that the rest of the Jedi Order is more like her so that's why he becomes so easily convinced that the Jedi are evil. Also, it would explain why she was never mentioned in Episode 3. However, it would seem weird for Anakin to hate her because she went Dark Side and turned on him, and, while thinking the rest of the Jedi Order to be like her, kinda do the same thing himself.

Also, Anakin may be an excellent fighter, but unless all those young Jedi were all using training lightsabers to fight him, he should have been killed. Also, isn't it likely that Sidious was hoping for that to happen? After all, he had enough clones to probably, or so he thought, deal with the Jedi. Having Anakin around, even, and likely especially, as his apprentice, was not good for his health. Anakin actually says that he can kill the Emperor if he wants. Also, I thought Sidious pretty much wanted all the power and control for himself and only needed apprentices to do his dirty work. Maybe Ahsoka sees it coming and actually helps him kill the younglings and that's how she escapes, though she doesn't sink any further into the dark side. If Ahsoka dies before the attack, wouldn't Anakin have to dream about it, as he did for his mother and for Padme, and likely an episode in advance, or enough to make people stop watching before she actually dies? Also, wouldn't he be deserting the Order to keep her safe and not bothering to go after Dooku, unless he killed her, but even so, why would he be leaving Padme alone? Also, I don't think he really cares much if he's caught. Obi-wan might know already about him and Padme, so maybe Anakin is afraid that Obi-wan will rat him out and he'll be kicked out and that fear eventually turns him against Obi-wan and also somehow all the Jedi, except Ahsoka, if she's still around. Also, if she dies or doesn't, Episode 3 will have to be remade to mention her, either with her in it and talking about her. Unless she betrays him and is the reason he eventually thinks all Jedi are evil. There's enough plot holes already before she came in that it would be quite all right to just have her walk off. The Empire never bothers to hunt down Yoda after he tries to kill Sidious, which seems a bit odd. Also, the word Sith was never mentioned in the Original Trilogy. Neither was the Emperor called by Sidious, or even Palpatine for that matter in the Original Trilogy. Also, they never say what happened to Cligue Lars in the films. Also, why didn't R2 try to find Obi-wan before, as they didn't have his mind wiped, if that's even possible, Episode IV? Also, why couldn't Obi-wan remember R2D2, the droid he kept insulting, or so Anakin claims. Also, how does the Empire even know what R2 and 3PO look like if they haven't seen them? If Vader saw R2, or 3PO for sure, wouldn't he recognize them and want at the very least to get C3PO, the droid he made, for himself, as C3PO is his after all? Also, if they didn't know what the droids looked like, wouldn't they have killed anyone who had a droid or bought one from the Jawa's, and perhaps not just attacked the Homestead? Also, Vader can't be completely heartless or else he'd have order Tarkin to fire the Death Star at Tatooine so they wouldn't have to worry about the plans? Also, wouldn't the security be up at the Death Star after Galen Marek's rescue mission, and the Millennium Falcon have been shot down instead of being pulled in with a tractor beam? Also, was Obi-wan planning to die, as Vader mentioned that escape wasn't Obi-wan's plan? Also, how were the hoping to wipe out the Jedi anyway? Galen Marek kinda caused the Civil War, with backing from Sidious and Vader, who didn't of course want the Alliance to actually be able to become a serious threat to them, why did Sidious say that letting a Jedi live would cause Civil War without end, if Sidious was kinda partially responsible for the GCW in the first place? Also, if Vader wanted to recruit Luke, couldn't he have at least not cut off his hand, as that wouldn't help him be very persuasive? Also, if he didn't want Luke dead, why did he try to gun him down near the end of New Hope and also realize that Luke could likely die in the Imperial attack on Echo Base? Also, why didn't he use the Force to stop Luke from jumping on Bespin? Also, if Obi-wan criticized Anakin for wanting to go back to Padme at the end of ATC, why did he say in his parting speech to Anakin that they were brothers and that he had loved Anakin? Sound odd? Also, it looks like Obi-wan may have used Force rage or something dark sidish on Maul out of Anakin about fatally wounding Qui-Gon. Also, if Vader was open to the possibility of him becoming the new Dark Lord of the Sith, why did he interfere when Luke make a go at the Emperor? Also, what is Palpatine's first name? And why can't Padme become a Force ghost? I thought Yoda said that, though he didn't know Anakin was talking about her, that she would become one with the Force when she died, so why can't she become a ghost? And why aren't Ahsoka and Qui-Gon Force ghosts at the end of ROTJ?

Bingo, they are pretty much irrelevent to Luke's journey. Anyway, Ashoka will have to be killed of prior to ROTS. It wouldn't make sense for her to live till the movie. I think Cad Bane or Grievous should be the one to do it.

The Empire never bothers to hunt down Yoda after he tries to kill Sidious, which seems a bit odd.

Yoda goes into exile on a remote planet by the end of Ep III. The Empire may have tried but failed to locate him.


Also, why didn't R2 try to find Obi-wan before, as they didn't have his mind wiped

Prior to being ordered to by Leia, R2 had no need to find Obi-Wan.


why couldn't Obi-wan remember R2D2?

Obi-Wan probably does remember R2, but he also never says that he doesn't. He says he doesn't seem to remember owning a droid (which is true), especially one like R2-D2 who claims he is his former master (also true).


Also, how does the Empire even know what R2 and 3PO look like if they haven't seen them?

They don't know what they look like but the tracks from the escape pod may have given them a basic idea about what type of droids they were. The Imperials were trying to trace whoever had landed in the escape pod and the route they'd taken through the desert which is how they eventually came across the sandcrawler. Not knowing exactly what droids they were looking for was a major hinderance to them.


If Vader saw R2, or 3PO for sure, wouldn't he recognize them and want at the very least to get C3PO, the droid he made, for himself?

It may be unlikely that Vader would be sentimental about such things.


Also, if they didn't know what the droids looked like, wouldn't they have killed anyone who had a droid or bought one from the Jawa's, and perhaps not just attacked the Homestead?

The stormtroopers traced the pod's occupants to the Jawas and discovered that the Jawas had gone to the Lars farm. They discovered that the droids they wanted had probably been there but had left.


Also, Vader can't be completely heartless or else he'd have order Tarkin to fire the Death Star at Tatooine so they wouldn't have to worry about the plans?

Vader couldn't order Tarkin to use the Death Star against Tatooine. The Empire may have had notions that recovering the data would lead them to the Rebels who were trying to use it. Also, Vader was trying to prove his usefulness by recovering the plans. He argued with Motti over the Force being greater than the Death Star so it's not going to look too good for Vader if he immediately turns to the technological terror for help.


Also, wouldn't the security be up at the Death Star after Galen Marek's rescue mission, and the Millennium Falcon have been shot down instead of being pulled in with a tractor beam?

Ignoring the fact that details of recent EU don't affect the film, the Empire captured the Falcon to investigate it. Vader suspected from the off that it had something to do with the missing plans.


Also, was Obi-wan planning to die, as Vader mentioned that escape wasn't Obi-wan's plan?

Vader knew that if Obi-Wan had re-emerged after so long and come to the Death Star it was to confront him one last time. Vader probably thought Kenobi wanted to try and kill him and what happened after that didn't matter to him.


Also, how were the hoping to wipe out the Jedi anyway?

The Empire increased the size and scope of the military and hoped to hunt down the remaining Jedi with help from Vader and possibly others. At the very least they would have tried to make it impossible for the few Jedi left to make any concerted attack on the Empire by ensuring they had to remain in hiding.


why did Sidious say that letting a Jedi live would cause Civil War without end, if Sidious was kinda partially responsible for the GCW in the first place?

Jedi upheld the ideals of the Republic so any left alive would oppose the Empire and possibly provide assistance or leadership to other rebels. Also, with all Jedi dead Palpatine could effectively use a smear campaign against the Order since the truth would never be known. Any Jedi left would know the truth about the Emperor and the evil Empire and possibly convince others, thus furthing any civil war.


Also, if Vader wanted to recruit Luke, couldn't he have at least not cut off his hand, as that wouldn't help him be very persuasive?

Vader planned to convince Luke of the power of the dark side. He wanted to totally defeat Luke physically and emotionally so he would have nowhere else to turn. Vader could then work on remaking him as a dark sider. Luke retained his sense of self though and chose to kill himself rather than join the dark side.


Also, if he didn't want Luke dead, why did he try to gun him down near the end of New Hope and also realize that Luke could likely die in the Imperial attack on Echo Base?

Vader didn't know anything about Luke in ANH beyond the feeling he got that one of the pilots was strongly Force sensitive. He only later found out he was named Skywalker and set out to confirm if they were related. There was supposedly a risk involved in assaulting the rebel base on Hoth but remember that was not Vader's plan. He wanted to take out the base's defences from space and force the rebels to surrender. That plan was messed up by Admiral Ozzel's blunder. So they had to launch a ground assault. You can see though that Veers contacts Vader just before the shield is destroyed to tell him he can land, thus minimising the time between that and Vader entering the base. Vader wanted to get in the base as quickly as possible in the hope of capturing Luke alive.


Also, why didn't he use the Force to stop Luke from jumping on Bespin?

Either he was too slow to react, or it was not possible since Luke fell too fast. Or perhaps he did try and failed.


Also, if Obi-wan criticized Anakin for wanting to go back to Padme at the end of ATC, why did he say in his parting speech to Anakin that they were brothers and that he had loved Anakin?

Loving another person was not the problem, but having it interfere with one's duty. In AOTC Anakin wanted to help Padme at the expense of going after Dooku. Jedi can love others but also have to learn to let go at the appropriate time, which is the lesson Yoda tries to teach Anakin at Ep III after he has visions of Padme's death. So in the sense that Obi-Wan leaves his 'brother' Anakin to die since he is irredeemable is perfectly in tune with his previous attitude. It is better for him to let Anakin die than try and help him, since that is what better serves the larger purpose of his duty (as Obi-Wan sees it).


Also, if Vader was open to the possibility of him becoming the new Dark Lord of the Sith, why did he interfere when Luke make a go at the Emperor?

At that point Vader realised that Palpatine would have replaced him with Luke. Palpatine wanted to draw the two apprentices into a conflict to see who would win. Don't forget, the Emperor was not actually defenceless and wouldn't actually have let himself be stuck down by Luke. He wanted to provoke Luke into striking to see what Vader would do. Vader was terribly conflicted and acted to protect his master, thus beginning the fight with Luke. Vader's only option then was to get rid of Luke in order to save his own life since Palpatine would have surely killed him and taken Luke instead.


Also, what is Palpatine's first name?

Whether he has one and what it is has not been revealed.


And why can't Padme become a Force ghost? I thought Yoda said that, though he didn't know Anakin was talking about her, that she would become one with the Force when she died, so why can't she become a ghost? And why aren't Ahsoka and Qui-Gon Force ghosts at the end of ROTJ?

Padme cannot become a Force ghost because she was not a Jedi. Yoda says that Anakin should not mourn those who have died because they have "transformed into the Force". Everything that dies does that in the sense that the Force energy that sustained them while they were alive rejoins the larger entity of the Force and merges with it. That is not the same thing as becoming a Force ghost. That is the specific ability to prevent your spirit from merging with the Force and thus retaining your identity in the after life, unlike all those other beings that do not.

It was Qui-Gon who discovered the secret of how to accomplish that after learning of it from a Shaman of the Whills. His studies were imcomplete when he died though, thus he only contacts the living world years later after he has gained strenght in the afterlife and he only ever appears as a voice, not a ghost. In their respective exiles, he teaches what he knows to Obi-Wan and Yod and they are able to complete the training. Thus their bodies disappear when they die and they can reappear as ghosts. Other Jedi who have not learned from Qui-Gon do not know how to do that and thus they cannot retain their identities after death. Presumably that includes Ahsoka. Therefore the reason more Jedi do not appear to Luke in ROTJ is that they cannot do so, and it would have no relevance to Luke and probably mess up the meaning of the scene to have a lot of characters who are not relevant to the story at that point.


Anyway, Ashoka will have to be killed of prior to ROTS. It wouldn't make sense for her to live till the movie.

It's not true that she has to die. There are possibilities that explain her absence as of Ep III that don't involve her being killed. All that in fact has to happen is that she is no longer Anakin's padawan by that stage. Possibly the simplest explanation for that is that she is transferred to another teacher because the Jedi feel Anakin is not suitable any more. Not only does that not require Ahsoka to be dead it also plays into the story of Ep III with Anakin's resentment of the Council and his anger at being denied promotion to Master after he was so recently denied to opportunit to earn the rank by training an apprentice. Then there could also be post-Ep III stories with Ahsoka since she's been built up as a major character in the series. If she survives Order 66 the story could focus on how she copes in that era, possibly with the knowledge that Anakin has become Vader.

And actually, there might be reasons for her to be alive during ROTS that don't involve her permanently transferring to another teacher: She could just be on a mission with a different Master, such as when she was with Luminara during this season, or she might even be training with Rex.

Personally, I think that her death during Order 66 would be more likely than her surviving, simply considering the scale of Operation: Knightfall, but both sides have decent arguments.

You don't think it's possible that Ahsoka could survive? Is it so impossible that Vader could have at least spared her thinking she would help him become the new Dark Lord of the Sith, and she played along and got away and he found out but didn't know where she was, and couldn't exactly tell his master, who wouldn't be pleased, and had to let her just get away. Also, if love is so bad for Jedi, how did Luke, who spent twice as long with his family as Anakin did, end up staying on the good side, though he did come pretty close to falling to the Dark Side like his father, but he didn't, and I'm sure he had feeling for Obi-wan, Han, and Leia. Also, maybe love, the opposite of hate, will be the emotion that was falsely labeled by the Jedi Code as evil, and Anakin was a victim of that false labeling, and that love is twice as strong as all the hate-powered Sith stuff.
Also, Imeem.com has deleted all star wars videos for some odd reason. I think they're becoming greedy. Organize a mass ban of the site until they restore them. Only use it for music. We'll show them!

I'd love to agree that Asohka gets offed, but I think that Anakin would be a little more torn up about it at the beginning of RotS than he is. As it stands, Anakin and Obi-Wan have plenty of idle banter upon returning from saving the chancellor. My assumption is that Asohka moves on with her training and departs from Anakin's company prior to Order 66 and if that happens it is easily possible for her to be one of the jedi that make it into hiding.

I do think it's possible Ahsoka will live. However, I think it's unlikely. I mean, Anakin was willing to kill younglings, and eventually, he even strangled Padme, although killing her might have been an accident. I just don't see him being willing to spare his apprentice. Eventually, however reluctantly, he was willing to duel Obi-Wan, and I think he would have been at least as close to his former Master as he was to his Padawan.


Also, C0rr4n-H0rn, I do sort of think you're right that Anakin should have been a bit more upset at the start of ROTS, but maybe it depends on when Ahsoka was killed: ROTS was right at the end of the war, and I think TCW takes place towards the start. If she was killed midway through the war, it's possible he would have been... well, not over her, but a bit more in control of himself.

Vader is a bomb waiting to go off. Yoda could see it in Phantom Menace. Or at least foresee bad things happening in Anakin's future. Also, Anakin was all freaked out about his mother dying. Her death made him seek revenge in Episode 2. He had already used the Dark Side once to serve his purposes, and not merely like Obi-wan did to defeat Darth Maul after he saw Qui-Gon die. Also, it played the Emperor's theme, or the dark side theme, when Anakin was telling what he did to the sandpeople. Also, it played the Vader theme too if I recall. Anakin was already turning into Vader in Episode 2. Second, Vader didn't actually kill Padme, that was Sidious lying to make Anakin all devoid of care and happiness and turn him pretty much all bad for several years. Also, that Imperial officer Vader choked in Episode 4 survived and he was choked about as long as Padme was. And the robots said she was in perfect heart and it would seem that she had died of a broken heart, possibly thinking that Obi-wan had axed Anakin. However, she did mutter something about there being good still in him, something she would not likely say if she believed him to be dead. She went on and on about Anakin breaking her heart and going down a path she can't follow. It would seem that in Anakin's haste to stop Padme from dying like his mother did, and Shmi's death alone seemed to be enough, and also, in either the scene where he learns about the power to cheat death, or when Sidious basically exposes his cover and asks Anakin to join him, if Ahsoka had died, Anakin would likely have given in then, and not with the scene with Mace, though it would seem Anakin had made his choice a bit before he cut off Mace's arm, as he chose to cut off his arm rather than use the Force to yank him away from Sidious. However, if Ahsoka dies, it will likely be because she joined the Dark Side and he or someone else, probably him, had to kill her, and he felt betrayed and eventually equated her with the whole Jedi Order and became easily convinced by Sidious that the Jedi were the enemy. And how come Vader cried after he killed the Separatists, including Gunray, who wanted Padme's head on his desk, but did nothing about the younglings? Also, how could he take them on? Yeah the younglings might have training lightsabers, but Padawans somehow got involved. Maybe Ahsoka helps him. I hope not, but it could be. Anyway, her friend Shaak Ti might have interfered and kept Vader busy and Rex opened fire on his "brothers" and sacrificed himself while Ahsoka escaped, further adding to the "brother against brother" theme of Revenge of the Sith. I don't know. Maybe a redeemed Ventress comes in and helps Ahsoka escape to spite Sidious for his betrayal of her. Not likely though. The previous idea is likely. Also, Vader may have let her go on purpose in hopes that she'd become his new apprentice once he'd taken care of the Separatists and Sidious. She may have played along or he may have not realized that she wasn't going to become "Darth Snips" until she had already gone into hiding, and then it was too late, and he couldn't tell his master or the Empire as they wouldn't be happy. Also, Anakin would have to dream about her death to keep up with the theme of him dreaming about those he cares about dying, and I can't see George Lucas doing that on screen, as people would turn the show off before they even got to her death as there would be no doubt that it would be coming. If he does it an episode before she dies, the ratings might drop so much that that episode may never air because of it.

How does Vader become a Force ghost? He didn't become one with the Force. We saw his body still there after he died. And his whole form was there, not just a voice. So maybe all Jedi become one with the Force, including Ahsoka. Also, a convenient explanation for letting her go and letting the Empire believe she is dead. Leave her Jedi Robe, Padawan hat, and lightsaber behind and say she died and became one with the Force when in reality she is still alive.

Although I think it's unlikely, I can see Ahsoka going to the Dark Side -she doesn't seem to have much control of her emotions for one thing- but even if she did, I doubt it would be because Anakin wanted her to. I just don't see Ahsoka bending down to her Master to the point where she would betray her Jedi training, even if it was the only way she could survive.


AhsokaSkywalker posted:
However, if Ahsoka dies, it will likely be because she joined the Dark Side...


I'm interested in your reasoning here. What makes you think she's more likely to die because she turned and had to be defeated than because, for example, Ventress killed her in a duel?

Well, people have a lot of other reasons to watch TCW other than that Ahsoka is in them. I, for one, often watch it in spite of Ahsoka. I doubt ratings would fall to the point where it would just be canceled.

What I'm wondering is this: If Ahsoka was to survive Order 66, what would she do afterward? The Empire was adamant about hunting down all Jedi, and Obi-Wan and Yoda probably only survived because they were both extremely powerful and well trained. She would probably still be a Padawan at the end of the war, and even if they knighted her early to increase their numbers, she would lack the learnings of a Master. Do you think she would be as bold as to join the Rebellion? And eventually, would she seek out Luke?

After Order 66 Ahsoka starts wearing a red wig to hide her Togruta head-thingies and starts working for Palpatine as the Emperor's Hand. This way she gets to stay by Anakin's side...

If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.

eukaryote, what did Ahsoka ever do to you? She might hear about all the people that don't like her and join the Dark Side. That's the one option that I'd rather have her die than do that. Also, Vader would hafta dream about her dying, and the fans couldn't handle that. Likely she could be starting missions of her own when ROTS begins. Near the beginning of AOTC Anakin gets sent on a mission on his own and is not with Obi-wan. Is it so impossible that Ahsoka couldn't be preparing for the trails? Also, maybe the Council knew more about Palpatine that Lucas and they let on. They did acknowledge that the Dark Side surrounds Palpatine but Mace seemed surprised on learning that Palpatine was a Sith Lord. Another thing that doesn't make much sense is that they sent a squad to take out Master Ad Mundi or whatever his name is but only sent two clones to gun down Yoda, who is far more powerful than Ad Mundi and probably is the most powerful Jedi, except for perhaps Anakin, and is the Grandmaster, and they send two guys. Maybe Ahsoka got sent a drunk clone to take her out. Or maybe Vader can't sees her worried and surprised and decides not to kill her. Maybe he spares her in the mistaken hope that he can turn her. After all, he did turn on his own troopers with Galen Marek.
